Insights from Aaron Goldsmith on Recent Changes for Mariners

The Seattle Mariners have experienced a recent surge in offensive production, averaging 6.75 runs and 11.5 hits per game during their four-game winning streak. Broadcaster Aaron Goldsmith attributes this change to increased hitting for average and power, as well as a more aggressive approach at the plate. First baseman/designated hitter Mike Ford has been a key contributor, providing both pop and damage. The team also held a players-only meeting before their winning streak, which seems to have sparked a turnaround in their performance. The Mariners hope to maintain their momentum as they face the Houston Astros before the All-Star Break.
